(1) When there is objection to the admission of evidence on the
ground that the witness is for a specified reason incompetent or not qualified
or disqualified, it shall be deemed that a like objection has been made to any
subsequent admission of evidence from the witness in question. Similarly, when
there is objection to the admission of evidence involving a specified line of
questioning, it shall be deemed that a like objection has been taken to any
subsequent admission of evidence involving the same line of questioning.

(2) If there is proper objection to the admission of evidence
and the objection is overruled, the ruling of the court shall be deemed
excepted to by the party making the objection. If an objection to the admission
of evidence is sustained or if the court for any reason excludes evidence
offered by a party, the ruling of the court shall be deemed excepted to by the
party offering the evidence.

(3) No objections are necessary with respect to questions
propounded to a witness by the court or a juror but it shall be deemed that
each such question has been properly objected to and that the objection has
been overruled and that an exception has been taken to the ruling of the court
by all parties to the action.

(b) Pretrial rulings, interlocutory orders, trial rulings, and
other orders not directed to the admissibility of evidence. - With respect to
pretrial rulings, interlocutory orders, trial rulings, and other orders of the
court not directed to the admissibility of evidence, formal objections and
exceptions are unnecessary. In order to preserve an exception to any such
ruling or order or to the court's failure to make any such ruling or order, it
shall be sufficient if a party, at the time the ruling or order is made or
sought, makes known to the court the party's objection to the action of the
court or makes known the action that the party desires the court to take and
the party's grounds for its position. If a party has no opportunity to object
or except to a ruling or order at the time it is made, the absence of an
objection or exception does not thereafter prejudice that party.
